This morning started super early in order to catch NS 214 with a colorful consist including a BNSF SD60M (BN) and BNSF C44-9W (H1). I made it trackside with not ten minutes to spare before he rolled through town. A short while later NS 211 showed up with a UP AC44CCTE 6028. NS 23M was the next train by but it was still too dark for still photography. NS 212 was the first shootable train. |

Not far behind 212 was empty trash train NS 64J. He had the clear signal at 832E and no sonner did I turn around then he was on top of me. The "wrong way" sign marks the one way road along the tracks. This is such a pain because it's about a ten minute loop to get back to the beginning of the one way. This makes it sort of hard to move around and shoot the various curves the railroad makes. |

It was a bit of a wait before 24V finished his work in Bethlehem and 18G had gotten recrewed at CP-Burn on the Reading Line. They were seperated by about 45 minutes and westbound 11J. |

The last two trains of the day were westbound 21M and 19G. Unfortunately it was still pretty early in the morning or else these would have been much nicer photos. I look forward to getting back here in the afternoon and shooting westbounds in sweet light. |
